Mods. The hours come from that.

I started with just bobs mods. Vanilla takes me 15-30 hours. Bobs it’s about 60. If you have never tried mods, and want to make the game a little bit more (and have already finished vanilla), bobs is an excellent start.

Next is Bob + angels. Combined this dials up the complexity, base size, and forces you to think a bit more. 120 hours to finish

Seablock - this takes the above and forces you to work with no space at all - very cool. But long. 300 hours.

Space exploration. 500 hours for this.

I did 5500 hours, then stopped at the time of announcement.

This way it will be fresh n magical.

From when it was posted yesterday…

Cat is named crumbs. It’s 38 pounds in this pic.

He is now on a diet.

One of the subs that was mentioning her had an update: she updated some files on GitHub in Jan. That’s the last mention?

In similar fashion, downloaded dude where’s my car, over dialup, using at the time the latest tech method - a file download system that would split the file into 2mb chunks and download them in order.

It took like 4 days.

Or it could be voice lines for their other new game that is currently in “invite your friends” beta.

You are most welcome.

Here you go…

Yep.

I pirated Factorio way back when it first came out (0.72?) and I actually didn’t like it. It was… Bad.

A few months later someone suggested I give it another go, so I pirated it again. It was a lot better. Like way better. I did a couple of months and was like … this is soooo good I’m buying it.

I will pre buy the dlc the moment it’s available.

I’m at 5500 hours and haven’t played since Jan 2023…

I’m so fucked

I’ve booked 3 days haha.

I’ve not touched factorio since Jan 2023. 5500 hours till then.

Factorio DLC is going to break global productivity for a month when it’s released in October.

Another excellent example of this working is Factorio.

The original game doesn’t cost a fortune, it’s made by a small extremely dedicated team. They polished it so hard the shine made everything else look like vanta black. Playing Factorio ruins other games because the depth and quality of everything else is so poor in comparison.

The game came out in like 2013 early access. Full release completed in 2020. A decade after initial launch, they are going to offer a DLC, that will cost money.

Absolutely happy to pay for a DLC for that perfection.

Thanks. TIL

How does a discord make money?

Or is it one you need to pay to access?

Yeah I get a good 20 coffees a week out of mine easy.

I burn the garbage

Late to reply to this, but.

As a fellow Aussie, the dual boiler often goes on special on Oz bargain. A friend bought theirs off there for $800 AUD.

I got mine for half price at boxing Day a few years ago (paid $1000 AUD) from David Jones of all places.

The other note is servicing. I’ve been told it’s wise to have the breville machines serviced every two years or so. They replace the seals n so on which is helpful. You can do it yourself but there is a bit of mucking about.

Seems to be console only.
